Trivial squabbles divert attention from wholesale theft and depredation. From J.B. Shurk at americanthinker.com:
“Divide and rule” tactics are as old as human conflict. Instead of building consensus among the members of a tribe or nation, rulers exacerbate grievances that exist between social groups. By doing so effectively, a military or political leader with only minority support can maintain control over a much larger group of people who refuse to work together.
Julius Caesar used this strategy to conquer Gaul. The Ottoman Empire ruled over a great number of tribes using the same technique. The British Empire controlled the Indian subcontinent in much the same way. Turning potential enemies against one another enables an otherwise insufficient force to seize and preserve power.
Modern Western politics is an endless “divide and rule” operation. Rarely do political leaders speak in terms that will unite strong majorities of their peoples. Even more rarely do they speak of their nations as families or articulate ways for everyone to get along. Instead, they divide society into groups of “oppressors” and “victims” and explain to anyone suffering why it’s someone else’s fault.
Tavistock broke us all is an interesting one I saw on Gab.
